My company offers holiday pay for the major holidays of the year. Occasionally, I am asked to work an hour or two on those holidays. The employee handbook states that we will be paid double time if we work on a holiday. Does that mean that I will receive the holiday pay (at standard pay) plus double time for the hour or two that I work making my pay for the one or two hours essentially triple time?

What’s the best way to organize outgrown kids clothes that are holiday related? I have all of her outgrown stuff put away by size. Do I put the holiday stuff in the right size or in their own holiday box? I was just thinking that she wore a few things that were 9mo when she was wearing 6mo stuff. I don’t want to forget the stuff I have for the holidays when the next baby comes.

Airfighter54 asked:
I work for an employer that requires us to work holidays. He pays us a holiday rate of time and a half. Does this holiday pay exempt him from counting that holiday in the normal workweek? Our employer says that since he pays us extra to work the holidays then that holiday is not included in the normal workweek. Is this legal?

Another topic mentioned depression and while the answers there were all great points I’m curious about the flipside of the holidays people who seem happier than usual.
Workers in your local Walmart perhaps who seem grumpy who might chat a little or wish you a Merry Christmas. Sure the lights decorations giving etc. must have an impact but, what are your thoughts on why people are happier during the Holiday season?

I have been searching on several holiday websites at holidays from my partners house and find lots of good deals.
The same day i search from my house the same website, the same dates, locations etc etc and they are different results and alot more expensive?
Do websites know that my IP address is located in a more affluent area and think i have more money to spend?

Kay asked:
I am having a hard time finding a job, and since it is going to October soon I figured a lot of companies will at least be hiring for holiday seasonal positions. Does anyone have any suggestions of companies that always hire around the holidays?

I have court-ordered visitation with my four-year old son, which includes every other holiday. However, we can never agree on what counts as a holiday. It seems like she always says what does and doesn’t count so that her holidays fall on the ones she wants. We are in Virginia, and no one seems to have an official holoday “list.” Anyone have any advice? Thanks!
